🌱 Ready to Grow? 🌱

A new school year begins this Friday at Gordon County Schools, and we want to hear how our students hope to grow, learn, and succeed!

Families, take a few minutes to talk with your child and ask: “What is something you want to learn, improve, or accomplish this school year?”

Their goal may be academic, personal, creative, or something completely new. Whether they want to become a stronger reader, make new friends, try an activity, build confidence, improve a skill, or reach another meaningful milestone, every goal is worth celebrating.

Share your child’s response through our "Ready to Grow" submission form for a chance to be featured on Gordon County Schools social media: https://forms.gle/y3cy3crrQiPYM2ft7

We cannot wait to celebrate the many ways our students plan to grow this year!

Lily Beth Sheriff, a rising sixth-grade student at Red Bud Middle School, recently represented her school and community at BreyerFest 2026 in Lexington, Kentucky! Lily and her horse, Calico, were selected to perform in the Western Dressage Demonstration as part of a drill team, an impressive honor at one of the world’s largest equestrian festivals.

The performance required months of preparation, precision, teamwork, and dedication as riders and horses worked together through a carefully choreographed routine. Wearing a colorful Barbie-inspired costume, Lily brought her own creative style to the demonstration and proudly represented Red Bud Middle School on a national stage. Congratulations, Lily, on this outstanding accomplishment!
